One June 12, 2016, the deadliest civilian-initiated mass murder in the history of the United States took place at the Queer Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Florida. A total of 49 individuals attending a Latinx dance night, the majority of whom identified as members of the Queer Latinx Community, were killed. In the days following the shooting we sought an ethics amendment for one of our ongoing studies so that we could give members of our communities around the globe the opportunity to share and document their grief. On this page, we share the results of that process in its various forms. This page is a work in progress, as we continue to work through the complexities of the experiences our participants generously shared with us.
